Maple Brooks did a stunning job with her interview.  From talking about the manic pixie dream girl experience to her involvement in non-profit work, she deserves credit for being such a good interviewee,

Maple is a very sharp young lady, and the OP does a a good job in the interview of accurately capturing part of her attitude and personality.  I read some interviews of people I know - not related to p4p - and sometimes I wonder if the interviewer and I have met the same person.  Not this time.

Thanks.  I feel honored to have had the opportunity to interview her.  (A good interview fundamentally relies on the character of the interviewee and their communication skills.)

Please keep up the good work.  Your interviews prove what I have found out for myself....that most providers are wonderful people who have more motivation, drive and business savvy than the average person. I just recently met a provider who's an artist, a web designer, an industrial designer,  an actress, and runs several small businesses. I am absolutely impressed by how these incredible woman can juggle all of that, and still look good and have fun too!

Thanks.  It's been educational for me, and as much as I've appreciated escorts, the interview process forces me to reconsider my own attitudes.  (NoteL My footwork on interviewing has gone beyond the two interviews that have already been posted, so these are general comments, and not comments related to any specific interview,)

For example, I've unfortunately found it a bit easy to become a bit jaded towards the vague 'feel good' attitudes that many middle-class people have about non-profits.  But I've met escorts who have a deep level of commitment to non-profits and advocacy organizations, and it took time for me to fully appreciate the depth of that commitment.

I've also been surprised by how different interviewing is from the normal shop talk about "the hobby" during a session.  Approaches that work successfully in one interview may need course correction in a different interview.  Questions that one provider will answer freely will be questions that another provider might consider too personal.  I've had to re-examine my own attitudes and take more humility towards the whole process.  I'm not going to commit to how often I'll have a new interview posted, because it's more important to do the process as respectfully as possible rather than to try to thunder through interviews.
